Chapter 9: On the Nation, Singing Throughout the World (3)

"Old Ji, where are you going?" a young woman looked at Ji Da, who was about to go out, stopped her hand that was writing, and looked up and asked.

"It's so stuffy in the house, so I'll go out and walk around. You still have to pay attention to your eyes and don't get too tired. Ji Da straightened his clothes, picked up the shoes by the door and put them on.

"Then I'll go out with you, you go out alone, we don't worry. Now the situation in Jinwei is so bad that after Comrade Jiang and the others were killed, we received an organizational order to move here, and we could not even turn on the lights at night, and could only rely on a little daylight during the day to copy things. Now the higher authorities stipulate that two or more people must go out. I'm just a little tired, so let's go out for a walk with you. The young woman stood up and went to the door to change her shoes, ready to go out with Jida.

Jida stood at the door, about to open the door, and the young woman put her hand around his arm, because of the external relationship, the two of them are husband and wife, and they should show a little intimacy when they go out together.

"Where?" asked the young woman, stomping on the soles of her feet, which were sitting a little numb.

Ji Da looked at the revolutionary comrade next to him who had been devoted to his work for several days and said, "Let's go to Victoria Park." There are more plants there, so it's good for your eyes. ”

"It's okay, but be careful, last year, Jiang Zhenhuan and other fifteen comrades were too careless, did not hide their actions, were arrested and imprisoned by Chu Yupu, and finally died. When the young woman said this, her hands couldn't help but tighten, comrades in the party organization, sacrifice one less one.

Jida sighed, "Revolutions always have people to sacrifice. I firmly believe that there will be a successful day. After speaking, Ji Da pushed the door open, and the bright sunlight shone on his face, which was warm, and people's hearts lit up at once.

The young woman's face also smiled, her eyes narrowed, and she enjoyed her hard-earned leisure.

Ji Da took a deep breath, "Let's go!"

In the afternoon, the streets of the British Concession were quiet, with no busy traffic and pedestrians, and Jida and the young woman walked down the road, heading south, to Victoria Park, through a few alleys.

Turning the corner in front of them, they were about to arrive, and before the two of them were close to the corner, the young woman suddenly shook her nose a few times, "What does it smell like?"

Ji Da took a few deep breaths and also smelled a sweet smell in the air. The two of them quickly turned the corner of the alley, confirmed that the scent was coming from the direction of Victoria Park, and hurriedly quickened their pace.

Before I walked to the corner of the park, I found that among the bushes in the west of the park, there were several white umbrellas in an orderly manner, which stood out of the bushes high, which was particularly obvious in the sun. A girl dressed as a waitress in a Western-style restaurant stood at a table on the side of the street, covered with a blue tablecloth, on which were placed paper cups and cardboard boxes, from which the fragrance came out.

"This is?" Ji Da and the others couldn't control their steps and walked over.

"Hello sir and ma'am. It's time for our free afternoon tea to be delivered, do you want to taste our freshly baked biscuits and drinks?" a smiling girl, her hair covered in a headscarf, gestured with her hand that the food in front of her was free to eat.

The young woman pointed to the small red box and the blue paper cup and asked, "Are these free?"

The girl nodded, "It's all free." This week's variety is biscuits. Ma'am, please look. The girl gestured to the front row of small boxes, which contained freshly baked and scented biscuits.

The young woman looked down and saw that the biscuits were roasted golden brown, barely an inch long, scented with milk, and inlaid with small black particles, which was very cute. Biscuits come in five shapes: a bear, a duckling, an elephant, a fawn and a kitten with a bow on its head. No woman has the slightest resistance to this cute appearance.

The young woman let out a low cry in surprise, and the hand that was holding Ji Da tightly just now quickly came out, and her body couldn't help but pounce in front of the table, reaching out to pick up the small cookie box in front of her. He also subconsciously asked, "What is the black spot on the cookie?"

"It's raisins, ma'am. Black raisins, known as blackcurrants in foreign countries, are very delicious. The girl was still smiling, she had been asked this question many times in the past few afternoons, and she was used to it.

The young woman had forgotten what information and documents at the moment, and picked up the small box with both hands, looking at this and that for a while, and she was reluctant to put any of them down.

"You and this gentleman can pick two boxes, one for each person. The girl smiled, not in the slightest change in her attitude because of the young woman's faux pas.

"Two boxes?!" After a burst of surprise, it was even more difficult to choose. The young woman looked left and right, and then turned her gaze to Jida, who was standing aside.

Ji Da is really speechless, this newly opened shop, I don't know where to learn the craft, just make a few biscuits to seduce the most determined female comrades in the organization, what about your revolutionary position! Fortunately, it's just food, it's not a big deal, and this little girl looks like she was born in a poor family, and she is still trustworthy.

Ji Da was thinking about it for a while, and then he noticed the young woman's resentful gaze, which meant that he was distracted, and coughed embarrassedly, "You can choose for yourself." I'm not good at this thing. After speaking, he lowered his head embarrassedly, blushing a little.

The young woman turned her head happily, pointed a finger at several animal biscuits, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Then I want this bear and deer." ”

"Okay, wait a minute. The girl motioned to the customer that each box contained ten small biscuits, and then handed the box containing the bear biscuits and the fawn biscuits in a paper bag to the young lady, "Ma'am, please take the paper bag." ”

The young woman asked a little unwillingly, "Do you sell other biscuits?"

The girl bowed slightly, "Hello, ma'am, these are free samples for everyone as a gift." Specific cookies will be available next week, so if you need them, you can drop by and ask when you need them. ”

The young woman nodded involuntarily, a little disappointed but more expectant, I can't eat today, and I can next week.

The two of them were about to leave the table when they heard the girl's voice, "Sir, Madam, please wait. You still have a drink to choose from, so please go here and pick up a drink. ”

Ji Da turned around and saw the girl indicating the blue paper cup on his right, and then remembered that the girl had reminded her just now that cookies and drinks were free.

The young woman asked expectantly, "Is it also free for one person?"

The girl nodded, pointed to the half-human-tall bottle behind her, and said, "There are three in total." The red color is lemon tea, the light yellow is honey yuzu tea, and the orange red is orange juice. What two do you need?"

The young woman decided quickly this time, "Please give us a cup of lemon black tea and honey grapefruit tea." "Anyway, I haven't heard of the names of these drinks, so I should taste them first.

There was a faucet on the huge bottle behind the little girl, and the little girl first put some ice cubes in the cup, then put the cup under the faucet, and gently unscrewed the faucet, and the bright drink flowed out of the faucet, and it was full in a short time.

The little girl put the lid on the quilt, inserted the straw, handed it to the young woman and Jida one by one, and said, "Sir and Madam can enjoy it in the park, and there are new trash cans in the park." Please also ask the two of you to throw the used garbage in the trash can, and we have a special person to arrange for it to be cleaned every day. To protect the urban environment, start from the small things around you, thank you for your patronage. After saying that, the girl bowed to Jida and the others again.

Ji Da's brain is a little cloudy, why didn't he go out for a few days, and the quality of the people of Jinwei improved? This service is simply on par with foreign restaurants, and even better than foreigners. When did our own national food industry have such a high level of consciousness?

The young woman also looked confused, and the two discussed it, and sat on a bench near the dining room in a corner of the park, ready to observe the sudden appearance of the anomaly.
